HEARTS & LOVE

So a few posts ago now I mentioned that I had met up with one of the girls from the U.S. as she was over for a cruise and stopped over in London.I can now tell you that I met up with Caryl.Here we are at the hotel she was staying at in London, her husband Craig took the photo (Thanks Craig).We got on really well, not hard really as Caryl is such a lovely person. The time we spent together flew by and maybe one day we will meet again....Caryl was fortunate enough to see the Queen when she was over, she was near the Palace and saw a helicopter arriving and lo and behold the Queen was arriving, she got video footage and I am sure she will blog about it.

If you don't know Caryl you should click HERE and go visit her blog, she creates the most beautiful paintings on board, as well as numerous types of gorgeous art.Do you doubt what I say, check out this gift that she gave me when we met up....

isn't she beautiful! Caryl also gave me a bag of collage pieces which I look forward to creating with. As a matter of fact I have used one of the images in this heart I made for a swap on the Yahoo group Art Ventures that I am a part of.

The heart is 11 x 6 inches(at the widest point) and I wait to see who my swap partner will be.Well that is it for today as we have just has a Bank Holiday weekend so I have housework to catch up on and should really get a move on...Thanks for visiting

You lucky girl! Isn't she just the sweetest. I have been lucky enough to hook up with her twice and I love her to pieces. She is like my best friend. Her art is amazing. She is so excited about seeing the Queen.Debby

Oh, how fun for both of you! I, too, have met her and instantly loved her. Easy to talk to, love her laugh, she gives great hugs, and her art is STUNNING! Lucky for both of you to have met in person...you are now connected across the ocean!And I just love that photo of you two. Hugs,Jan

Awwww... Dawn, you are just the sweetest, cutest thing! I am counting my blessings that I have you for a friend and that we actually got to meet! (wow!) I finally managed to get up a small blog post about our meeting, but see you have such a wonderful elegant post! You rock! Sending Squeezes & Love!
